Why this site exists
Most people go through a serious car crash once or twice in a lifetime. That means most people face the paperwork with no practice: which agency wrote the report, what the DMV needs within ten days, what to say to an adjuster and when a lawyer makes sense. Crash Course SD puts those tasks in order, in plain English, for people hurt on San Diego roads.
The home page is built like a short course. The four lessons walk from the roadside to day 30. The local section covers San Diego Police, the CHP, the trauma centers and the courthouse. The deadline section explains California's time limits and fault rule.
What we cover
We write about car crashes in the City of San Diego and the rest of San Diego County. That includes the freeways the CHP patrols, such as Interstate 5, Interstate 805 and Interstate 15, and city streets where San Diego Police respond. State law on the site comes from the California codes, and local instructions come from the agencies themselves. Our editorial policy explains how we check them.
How the free review works
If you want to talk to someone about your crash, the home page has a free case review. You answer four questions: when the crash happened, whether another driver caused it, whether you have pain or injuries, and whether you already signed with a lawyer. If the answers fit, you leave a name and phone number.
Crash Course SD passes that request to our partner law firm. Our partner’s automated assistant calls, confirms a few details and can connect you with its intake team. The review is free, there is no obligation to hire an attorney, and our partner decides whether it can help. Crash Course SD is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
